I always liked their guitars and not the basses. Anybody wanna buy it me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budget bassist Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 strangely, that's one of the only musicman basses i'm not that interested in, it's pretty, it's not not REALLY a musicman is it. In fact only musicman i'm interested in these days is the sterling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budget bassist Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 haha, i don't exactly have girly hands, but i'm not a fan of the stingray neck, the bongo neck on the other hand, verry nice not tried a sterling properly yet, but i quite like the idea....

Cat Burrito Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I think I'd prefer a "toilet seat one" given the choice. Always secretly fancied getting one but never got around to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crikey! Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 oh my. Feel a little sick. I do not like that one bit. I wouldnt complain if somebody gave me one though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Thought Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I like that too. I normally hate MM's, and I may even be responsible for the 'toilet seat' references ( I know I've used that phrase in my previous castigations of the Bongo design), but I think that looks good-and I'm not normally a fan of the Tele shape for bass, either. It's the MM oval scratchplate that I don't get on with-I saw a chap using one on Saturday night with no scratchplate, and it didn't look at all bad-and sounded great. Oh no, not another bass to add to my list of 'basses I must look into when I've got some spare money' ie. never. That's never going to happen with the Bongo, though.
